I think I know what you mean - I often have situations where one part of
my brain is "running a movie" of me telling someone I know about the
thought process the other part of my brain is having at that moment,
the "movie" part lagging a bit behind the "thoughts" part. :-)))

Anyway, as Michael said, useful thing to do is to engage your mind in
some mantra. The trick with "multiple mind-voices" is to engage all of
them with chanting! You start chanting ( not aloud ), and when you
notice another voice in your mind shooting off on a tangent, you engage
it in mantra as well. It is useful to have them chanting at different
speeds,
or otherwise the other one will stop chanting and you won't notice it,
until it comes back with another wild story :-)). I usually sing the mantra
along some melody with the first one (the loudest), monotonously (sp?)
repeat it with the second one, and the third rarely appears and when it
does it is really quiet, like a whisper.

Juggling with all those voices can be difficult, but practice makes perfect,
and trust me - trying to chant 3 mantras at the same time will keep
your mind *busy*. :-))))

BTW, this is my first post after months (years?) of lurking, so greetings
to everyone. :-)
